Netbean RCP Dependency build

I'm using Netbean RCP to develop my desktop appl开发者_运维技巧ication.

my goal is to use the "cruise control" for overnight builds.

I just can't find any information of how to build all Java sources to compounded jar (consisting of all netbeans modules).

I want also to be able to define that if ,for instance,case the org.openide jar is missing, it will d/l it as need.

I have 2 questions:

1. can i run the IDE automatic build outside of netbeans IDE?

2. how can i define the internal\external dependencies for my project.

1. Netbeans use an ant file for conducting the 'background' builds, if you haven't specified a build file yourself.
2. You can use ivy if you wish to stick with ant or you can use maven, which was designed for exactly this task
